Nacho was texting me about how people don't get Nacho Sasha, and I started thinking about how awful the internet is these days and yet also how often I look at it. It's a weird sort of addiction that I really should shake. I did good when I first left DC, but now I'm back on the stuff.

I miss the old days when it was all about sharing ideas instead of trying to censor them.

I miss the old days when it was all about sharing ideas instead of trying to censor them.

And again -- I am on complete blackout and it' great! No news. I ignore all of my social media feeds -- I just maintain my own posts (and, increasingly, hire that hit out). I don't even know what fucking day it is or if it' going to be rainy or sunny... And I don't really intend to find out until it happens or someone tells me!

So the more you bemoan the horrific state of the internet, the happier I am at this choice. I will never look back.

The other side of this coin is that, yes, I'm flummoxed when some idiot leaves a clueless comment on the FB feed they've been following for 15 years where I behave exactly as I've always behaved...
